Hans is the managing director of the TalentOrange language school in São Paulo. He has supported us with his hands-on approach and creativity in setting up this location. Hans has 30 years of experience as a teacher and school director in São Paulo and Berlin. This helps him to reconcile German and Brazilian needs and habits. Today, he is a bridge builder between the two countries.
After studying German language and literature, political science and history at the University of Trier, he completed his traineeship (Referendariat) for secondary school teachers in Hamburg. At that time, however, there were too few positions for teachers in Germany. So he went to Brazil to a German school abroad. Hans also started his family in Brazil. He is involved in a variety of social projects, for example he holds preparatory courses in English and German for young people from socially disadvantaged families so that they can pass the entrance exam for the vocational school at the Colegio Humboldt.
In his free time, Hans cooks for friends and family.
